One more success story for today!


After adopting out our 200th dog this week, it has been very special to reflect over the past year. Pictured here is Memphis (formerly, Marty the shepherd pup who came up with his siblings Muddles, Melvin, Mickey, etc) with his furry sister. Memphis is on the right. His mom says," I just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know how happy we are with our adoption of Memphis! After lots of trust building and time, Memphis' personality has changed soooo much! No longer does he wait anxiously at his dinner spot and gobble up every last morsel, he lays across the room now and watches everything going on and takes his time getting to his food and often leaves some to go back to later. He has made quite a few doggie friends too. He is no longer fearful of every noise or dog while walking nicely on his leash. He has become the best running partner I could ask for! Ever so curious about the cats, he has now been known to share his sleeping spot with one of our kitties! He has a 'job' every morning, and comes with me to jump on the kids and wake them up for school. He thinks this is the best, and the kids anxiously await his pounce in the morning, they will stay in bed just to get their usual 'Memphis wake up'! Our golden, Molly, has been adjusting to his playful nature and has taught him quite a few things about being a good dog! He is very attached to her and she is enjoying the canine company! Thank-you so much for doing what you do! Thank-you for giving our dog a chance for a better life! We love him and we're glad he's home!

Sincerely, Kim, Drew, Russ, Elly and Andi "
